Pacific Rim Uprising director Steven DeKnight has stated on social media that he would be very interested in directing a movie in the Warner Bros. DC Extended Universe franchise.
Pacific Rim Uprising marks DeKnight’s cinematic, feature-length directing debut but there has already been talk of him as a potential name to helm the mooted Man of Steel 2.
The sequel to 2013’s Pacific Rim is due to hit theaters shortly and since the first installment was directed by Guillermo del Toro, DeKnight certainly has considerable shoes to fill for the sequel.
The director was recently asked by a fan on Twitter if he would be open to directing a DCEU film, to which DeKnight wholeheartedly replied “Hell yes!”
